BRATTLEBORO — On behalf of the Vermont Theatre Company's board of trustees, we thank everyone who helped make VTC's recent production of The Tempest a wonderful success. It marked VTC's 29th Shakespeare in the Park and the end of our 34th Season.
We know that community theater is at its best when driven by community members with a strong desire to do the hard work it takes to create a show, bring it to life, and delight audiences. We were very fortunate to have had such a crew: a cast of 18 talented, hard-working actors, a 15-person production team, many volunteers, and more than 300 audience members who saw the play, cheered the cast on, laughed heartily and frequently, and applauded generously, making the five months of hard work worth the effort.
Thank you to the actors, the production crew (the people you don't usually see on the stage but without whom there would be no play), the many other members of our community who contributed time, materials, and funding to make the show possible, and our show sponsor.
So we thank one and all for contributing to the success of VTC's 2017-18 season, and we are looking forward to seeing you during our 2018-19 season, which begins this coming September with Art, by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton and directed by Bill Wieliczka.
